Why do I need this bond?

Kentucky investment adviser surety bonds ensure that principals (advisers) adhere to the provisions of Kentucky Revised Statutes Chapter 292, which is also known as the Kentucky Securities Act. Prohibited acts under this bond include, but are not limited to:

  • making untrue statements
  • entering into or renewing an investment contract without providing it in writing
  • assigning a part of an investment contract without the consent of the other parties
  • employing any scheme, artifice or device to defraud
  • engaging in any practice or act that classifies as fraudulent

If the principal violates these terms, the bond protects harmed parties from financial loss up to the full bond amount. Any claim paid out by the surety must be reimbursed by the principal.
